This is a wide-open course, but there are trees lining a few holes. The terrain is reasonably flat, but hole #9, a 405-yard, par 4, has a sharp incline up to the green. The design expanded from a nine hole layout into an eighteen hole course in October of 1998. There are sand bunkers spread through the design and one lake that comes into play on one hole. The greens vary in size and undulation, and their speeds are determined by the seasonal weather conditions. This club plans to open an additional nine holes at some point in the future, although no concrete time frame has been announced.

Course Reviews

Country Club of Billerica"New design poor, operation run poorly..."The scenery is nice and price is about average for a public course, but here's a few pet peaves:
- The course was redesigned a few years back to try to squeeze a few more stokes onto par by making it a par 69 from the original 66. The results were in my estimation, terrible. They basically redesignated two long par 4's into short par fives, combined to par 3's into a par 4, and added a 50 yard new par 3.
- The proshop is run extremely unprofessionally by retirees and kids under 16. I've also witnessed the "owner" hanging around and acting like a yahoo. Let's put it this way, not your typically golf links proprietor!
- The greens are colored during the summer with some bluish dye that gets all over your clothes, clubs, and ball. I suspect it covers up the burned out yellow spots on the greens.
- Finally, I've never seen greens like the ones at this place. They are kept long and are, by far, the slowest I've ever encountered. I've literally seen playing partners skull a wedge from 60 yards and it doesn't even roll off the green. Weird.---Golf Pro, Chelmsford, MA

East Liverpool Country Club"Links Course"The East Liverpoool Country Club is a nine hole course. It features a links style course that has elevated greens on eight of the nine holes. Wooded areas and strategically placed bunkers add to the beauty and challange of the course.
The entire course is served by an automatic watering system. The undulating greens can provide interesting pin placemets. The ninth and eighteenth holes are served by two different greens.---Joe, USA
